Contreras sidelined for Cardinals' game against Diamondbacks due to back spasms
Associated Press
ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras will miss Friday night's game against Arizona due to back spasms.
The 33-year-old Contreras was scratched shortly before the start of the opening game of a three-game set against the Diamondbacks in a precautionary move, the Cardinals said.
Alex Burleson replaced Contreras at first base. The lineup changes involved Brendan Donovan moving from second base to left field. Nolan Gorman was inserted into the lineup playing second base. Lars Nootbaar moved from left to right field.
Contreras is considered day to day. He has appeared in a team-leading 49 of the team's 50 games this season.
Contreras is hitting .250 with six homers and 28 RBI.

Spain draws Sweden in semifinals of Women's Nations League. Germany gets France
NYON, Switzerland (AP) — World champion Spain will continue its defense of the UEFA Women's Nations League title against Sweden in the semifinals after the draw was made on Friday. Spain will host the first leg on Oct. 24 and the return is four days later in Sweden. Germany hosts France first in the other semifinal played on the same dates. France was beaten by Spain 2-0 in Seville in the inaugural final last year. The 2025 final is scheduled over two legs, on Nov. 28 and Dec. 2. All four teams advanced to the finals stage by finishing atop groups that started in February and finished this week — effectively as warmups for the Women's European Championship. Only France won six straight games. First, all four head to the 16-team Euro 2025 that starts on July 2 in Switzerland. Germany and Sweden are in the same Euros group. France is in a tough group with the past two European champions, England and the Netherlands. Spain, the 2023 Women's World Cup winner, starts its Euro 2025 campaign against Portugal on July 3 in Bern. ___ AP soccer:
